My cob has very pink skin, the kind that burns!! i have a fly mask with nose net but its off within an hour and torn to pieces - i have tried putting a headcollar over it but she still manages to pull it off. She is impossible to apply cream to her nose - she gets dangerous!! so need ideas for some sort of mask/nose net that stays put and stops the suns rays!!
:) thanks guys
 
Equilibrium fly masks! They are excellent, last for years, and I have one that loves to wiggle out of his and can't manage it! Mine are in the midi's as no white/pink noses but you can get a maxi which covers the nose.

They seem more expensive than our usual choice but if it prevents her getting it off and being sunburnt am in!!

They are - and I spent years buying cheap fly masks (every few months).

I think about three years ago I got a bonus at work and bought them...and still have them!! I wash them regularly and they are as good as new!

Or give up for this year and buy them this autumn for half the price!
 
I would recommend the Rambo Vamoose. I always had the equilibrium full face and they do a good job and last for years however my boy would dump his at least once a day.

As the Equilibrium ones are a bit worse for wear now (had them at least eight years) I thought I would try the Rambo. It's a great fit for my boy and he hasn't dumped it once.
 
Interested to hear that it's not just your cob who is a Houdini when getting fly masks off. My horses field mate is also a cob with a pink nose and he constantly gets the masks off with the velcro done up!

Mines can get the equilibrium one off! It is a good mask, rubs a tiny bit but nothing horrendous. Its only the midi tho

The only mask my girl can take off is the Equilibrium one :mad: She flipped hers off every day. I stick with the Rambo ones now, they last for years :cool:
